What Is This, And Why Is It Leaking Antifreeze?

Noticed a puddle under my truck at work today, This is on the left side firewall right under where the charcoal canister used to be.

Is that under the blower motor? It has a drain tube off the bottom of it. Or that could be from the heater core.

Its under the heater hoses and blower

 

Its pretty much right where your feet go

That is supposed to be the drain for condensation that comes off of the a/c condenser inside the cab. All that should come from that tube is pure water, if antifreeze has found its way to that drain it almost certainly means your heater core has sprung a leak.  :(

 

 

EDIT: by the looks of it, it doesnt appear to be to severe, but a leak is a leak and it will only get worse over time.

If that heater core ever springs a leak again in the future, I think i can live without heat.

 

I can't believe how hard it is to get to it, To change it. :/

Loop your hoses together and bypass the heater core.
